John Popper was involved in a short film that was aired at the San Francisco Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. More info:

The short black comedy, Das Clown, is coming soon. This 8-minute splatter film/love story was inspired by the filmstrips and slideshows frequently screened in grammar schools during the last few decades. It comes complete with fifth grade flashback-inducing beeps between frames and narration by John Popper of the band Blues Traveler. Das Clown, even though it has not yet premiered, was awarded the 1999 Nell Shipman Production Excellence Award from Women in Film, Seattle for Bette Allen's cinematography. Das Clown will be unleashed at film festivals in June.
